Big Promises, Little Return - Anonymous Element Materials Technology Employee Review

Amazing colleagues, good communication, flexible time off, good pay

There are none that come to mind

Good starting salary, interesting work, sometimes possible to earn a decent bonus. Some people who work there are very nice, some camaraderie.

Toxic team energy, poor and even toxic management, constantly changing management team and expectations, no long term strategy, no clear or attainable path to career advancement, no job specific training, high expectations, bonus structure changes often so once you earn good money it will go away, tend to overload existing employees instead of hiring enough people, “boys club” on some levels (lots of favoritism). My job basically got switched the minute I started to include way more responsibilities. Diversity initiatives, but in practice I felt there was still discrimination. Bit of a revolving door, did not seem to be much value placed on retention. Individual sites basically compete against each other, you could be doing well or have a good idea and they may still give the opportunity to someone else across the company. Overall didn’t seem like anyone (even my own team) really cared that I worked there.
